Easy beach stay

Comfortable, no-frills stay for one or a couple. Easy access to beach as well as restaurants and shopping at John’s Pass. Handy parking, nice deck and patio with grill. A few basic items that would be helpful: kitchen linens, basic storage containers and hand soap.

This was a unique beach experience

You are exceptionally close to dining, shopping and entertainment if you want or being on the upper back deck, which is partially covered, allows you casual, relaxing down time. And the beach is hardly a minute away. The best of all worlds!!

We had an amazing stay! Cherie was great we got there earlier than check in and she was very accommodating by letting us get into the cottage early. The cottage is centrally located with a minimal walk to the beach and across the street from the boardwalk. We will definitely be back!! I would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing location

We loved our short stay in Cherie’s charming beachside cottage. It was clean, comfortable and in a wonderful location; close to all the entertainment at John’s Pass and the beautiful beach. Cherie was easy to contact and very accommodating-the perfect hostess. We hope to stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Vicinity Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
Cherie grew up in South Tampa and always had a love for the beach. Traveling the 20 or so miles to the beach every weekend when she was attending Plant High School. Eventually she moved to Madeira Beach where she owns a real estate brokerage Engel & Völkers Madeira Beach on Gulf Blvd. Finest Real Estate Worldwide! She also owns a vacation rental management company Vicinity Vacation Rentals!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property from the long-time owner because I just love the classic beach cottages. I promised her that I would keep the integrity of the cottage, and not tear it down for a new home to be built. The bonus is the wonderful location. The Cottage by the Pass is the epitome of living the beach life.

What makes this property unique

Cottage by the Pass offers all the charm of days gone by as well as all the modern conveniences. Cottage by the Pass is located just steps from the white sand, with no streets to cross.
